The estimated cost for these two items alone will be between $12,000 and $30,000, and the end result will benefit the numerous handicapped Lodians that utilize this facility. It's our understanding that your Engineering Staff would authorize a modification of the public sidewalk and curbing to accoranodate the handicap where our proposed ramp will terminate at the public walkway. This modification will be larger that the normal handicap ramp to allow the City's Parks Department access to the neighboring park with their lawn mowers.

In conjunction with this re -paving project we request the city Council to authorize expenditures to eliminate a curb and gutter drainage problem that has existed in front of the building for many years and has caused a saftey and health hazard. We have contacted the Engineering Division and it's been indicated the solution to this problem is the placement of a storm line and catch basins on Washington Street and the replacement of approximately 200 feet of existing curb and gutter.
